So I'm looking at getting some realistic toys to get an idea/feel for the real thing. I have seen a few sight like bad dragon but I was hoping to get some suggestions that are more life like.
This maker's model "Charlie"
is really quite nice. I'd recommend medium shore, soft is..well, too soft, though the knot has a nice amount of give to him in soft.
I know a lot of people talk up elypseart because it has an inflatable knot. But I will be the odd duck of the group and say.... it's just a glorified balloon. Zero texture, just a rubbery feel. I can't remember the toy makers name... but there is another that makes a much mote appealing inflatable... if that's what you are looking for.
Otherwise I would push for a Rex from Bad Dragon... or one of Exotic Erotics models. The fantasy canines are pretty cool, but they have life cast, as well.
